$0.286/kWh is a ridiculous amount of money to pay for power. That's more than double the regional residental average here!

If I ever found myself in this situation I would much rather just rent cards from hotasile and run open models instead of giving OAI money and playing reset bingo

I removed the extra links to sources for the electricity prices, but that's the average cost in EU, where I live.

Indeed, EPEX spot prices are between €0.30 and €0.39 today including taxes where I live. I've seen them go up to €1.10 during peak demand.

it is not the marginal price for household users, but the (average electricity bill : subscription + consumption) / (average consumption), so it will be higher than the additional kwh consumed.

Maybe, but only it's marginally off.

This is what I pay extra per kWh,in Netherlands: € 0,25162 ($0.291), excluding the connection costs.

Ridiculous? Wow. I'm paying ~$0.4/kWh in western Europe...

The current spot price in northern Europe is 0.025€/kWh, yesterday it was 0.007€/kWh :D

Paying around ~$0.25-0.3 per kWh here in South Africa. But you can also put up a lot of solar panels and lower that effectively.

Wow. Those are about EV quick charge prices here in .fi. Average residential is maybe 0.06 €/kWh (plus transfer and subscription).

We're privileged in North America to have cheap power.

Also, note that the Luna was run and costs were calculated through OpenRouter, via API. With a ChatGPT subscription it's likely even cheaper.

Also, Qwen 3.7 27B is actually Terra level.

Can be easily the price you will pay across Australia, depending on the time of day.

Welcome to Europe
